PHP – format path urls

In my PHP project, I have an url path string returned like:

 {
  "data": {
    "image": "https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5f6a30b165eb44156b3bc6ca_N%20GRAPH%20SETTINGS.png",
    "url": "https://www.uhub.io/"
   }
}

What I would like to accomplish is for this two paths to be without and % ..

How can I format them?

I know this question is already answer but I can not find right PHP fucntion for it.

Code:

$encodeData = json_encode($metaData);

return json_decode($encodeData, true);

and the problem persists.

Working Solution:

The PHP Function stripcslashes() does what you need: Removes the escaping character where it’s not needed.

The %.. characters are part of URL Encoding, so don’t remove them.

Here is a working solution how to remove the from your object:

<?php

$data = [
    'image' => "https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5f6a30b165eb44156b3bc6ca_N%20GRAPH%20SETTINGS.png",
    'url' => "https://www.uhub.io/"
];

foreach($data as $key => $value) {
    $data[$key] = stripcslashes($value);
}

print_r($data);

Old answer:

This is a JSON String and the backslashes are part of JSON formatting.

Remove it by decoding it:

$data = '{
  "data": {
    "image": "https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5f6a30b165eb44156b3bc6ca_N%20GRAPH%20SETTINGS.png",
    "url": "https://www.uhub.io/"
   }
}';
$rawData = json_decode($data, true);

$rawData is now:

Array
(
    [data] => Array
        (
            [image] => https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5f6a30b165eb44156b3bc6ca_N%20GRAPH%20SETTINGS.png
            [url] => https://www.uhub.io/
        )
